Nanofabrica
Nanofabrica is an Israeli micro and nano-scale 3D printing startup that combines patented hardware with proprietary materials to enable mass digital manufacturing of precise, complex micro-parts for semiconductors, optics, medical devices, and defense components.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Nanofabrica is a Jerusalem, Israel-based startup founded in 2016 that developed breakthrough additive manufacturing technology capable of printing micro and nano-scale parts with sub-micron resolution. The company combines patented hardware systems with proprietary materials science to enable mass digital manufacturing of highly precise and complex miniature components.
The company raised venture capital from investors including NVIDIA, Marius Nacht (co-founder of Check Point), and the Israel Innovation Authority. Nanofabrica's technology addresses markets that were previously inaccessible to 3D printing, including semiconductor packaging, micro-optics, microfluidics, MEMS devices, and precision medical components.
Dual-use relevance is high: micro-precision additive manufacturing directly serves defense applications including miniaturized electronic warfare components, micro-optics for targeting and sensor systems, precision parts for guided munitions, microfluidic devices for chemical/biological detection, and custom micro-components for satellite payloads. The technology enables rapid prototyping and production of classified defense components without supply chain exposure, a critical advantage for military manufacturing independence.
